Lonely Planet Canada (Travel Guide)

I was rather disappointed in this travel guide. My husband and I are planning a trip to Toronto and the Niagara Falls region so I picked up this travel guide in order to help figure out what we wanted to do. When I finally sat down to go through the travel guide, I was really disappointed that there really isn't a whole lot of information to be had outside of the big name sites most people already know about. The section of Toronto feels very small and less than comprehensive for such a big city. It really feels as though this guide just skims the surface of all the cities and isn't an effective travel guide for each individual city. If you aren't traveling all over Canada for short stints in each city then you end up needing to still go out and purchase a guide for the specific city because this guide isn't going to give you enough information to plan beyond a couple days. If you are like me and are just going to visit 1 or 2 cities in Canada, I would skip this guide and get one for the specific place you are visiting. If you are planning a longer haul vacation and visiting several cities then this guide might work okay and be a better option than purchasing a guide for every city.

Very helpful guidebook for our trip to Canada. Many suggestions matched what we heard from locals!
